Movies of the week


We are just getting a little taste of the coming spring with 10000B.C.
the new star on the Boulevard is Horton Hears a Who. the dumbo and the speck just spell humor. if the story not really the kids type, the character are. the colorful Character of the movie simply keeps the kids in their sits. and the story and the reletivity theory and the interaction between Jim Carrey's Dumbo and the whos of Steve Carrell is enough to get adults into the cinema be it brainy type, or the joke seeker type. it's just a funny and brainy movie to watch, even over my expectation. the marry of Dr. Suess and Fox Blue Sky enimation just hit a new high with this one. in every aspect of the combination is great. I guess Jimmy Hayward did a real good choice to leave Pixar. Jim Carrey's and Steve Carrell with Dr. Suess is not at all like any Almight or Grinch at all. well done to anyone on the movie. they are a totally contender for this years OSCAR.

one really interesting movie that i just gone to watch is "The Deaths of Ian Stone"
the story about a character that is chased by deaths and keep waking up alive. the plot is not too bad nor the movie. I give as A- for the lead but not the story. it reminded me of vantage points. too many climax and anti-climax. the audience going into the cinema knows the basic plot of the story already. and the suspense is only at the end of the show and there's not really much to speculate after you've gone to the middle of the movie you'd have guess it. the action isn't really that great, nor is the cinematography or the screenwriting. there's just plenty of losses in interest in the whole story. though the story does gives Mike Vogel a great feature of his talent. it's not exactly B-grade movie. nor has it hit the A-Grade blockbuster either. so sorry. it's great for Mike Vogel but not the movie(the movie did more for Mike Vogel than Cloverfield does). it's like Josh Hartnett in Halloween H20. it's a good movie for the actor but not the show.
